When Dialysis is needed for kidney failure patients
You need dialysis when you develop into end stage kidney failure --usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function and have a GFR of <15.
The following content will tell you the factor can influence the life expectancy of dialysis patient
Time Frame
Those undergoing kidney dialysis treatment possess a very general, average life expectancy of four years. But many scenarios come into play with some patients enjoying a bountiful life for as long as 25 years.
"We do not yet know how long patients on dialysis will live," says the National Kidney Foundation. "We think that some dialysis patients may live as long as people without kidney failure."
Statistics
However, there are more direct statistics available. Physicians estimate a patient's likelihood of survival by looking at the percentage chance of living one, two, five and 10 years after beginning treatment. This sort of formula is used among many diseases including heart disease, cancer and dialysis patients.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases reports the dialysis survival rate at close to 80 percent through one year, 64 percent through two years, 33 percent after five years and 10 percent through 10 years.
Variables
"Another important fact is that out of the 20 percent of dialysis patients who die in the first year, 50 percent die in the first three months. There could be a number of reasons for this such as how old the patient is, how sick they were when they started dialysis and what other problems and illnesses they have," say Andy Stein and Janet Wild in their book Kidney Dialysis and Transplants: The At Your Fingertips Guide. "People with high blood pressure or diabetes are not as likely to live 10 years on dialysis as those with either polycystic kidney disease or glomerulonephritis."
